Something about Lord of The Rings

Did anyone notice when Frodo got stabbed by the ring-wraiths, then a little later on one of the other hobbits asked what would happen to Frodo
and strider said he would turn into a ring wraith


Does anyone else find the thought of a hobbit-wraith kind of amusing?

  • The thought of a Hobbit-anything is amusing. I've seen taller shrubberies.

    Look out! It's the hobbit-wraith! Oh wait, he's not so scary! What are you going to do, mini-wraith? Scream at our knees?

    Um. Going back to the book for a moment:

    Strider says that Frodo will FADE. That is become a wraith. There is nothing about "ring wraith" in that.

    As per understanding in the book, there are 2 parellel worlds of which 1 is the living and 1 is the wraith world. Wraiths can only see the wraith world. Humans can only see the living world. Most elves can only see the living world. Elf Lords (ie Glorfindel, Elrond, Galadriel, etc) can see the normal world AND the wraith world, and what they look like in the wraith world is a glowing form similar in shape to their real world appearance (notice Arwen at the Ford as seen to Frodo).

    Anyone can become a wraith but not be a ring wraith. A ring wraith requires it to be one of the 9 human kings that were given the Human Rings of Power.

    Remember the poem:
    [i]Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
    Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
    [b]Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,[/b]
    One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
    One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
    One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
    In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.[/i][/list]

    Now where are these rings?
    - Elf rings are all still worn (I'm not giving aways hints!)
    - Dwarf rings are either stolen by Dragons or lost
    - Human kings with rings became the Nazgul (Ring Wraiths).
    - One Ring is with Frodo.

    A Mordor sword causes one to fade into the wraith world. The ring wraiths are not all that exist there.

    Oh, and for those that want a BIG teaser, Gandalf is a Maia (one of the Maiar, a lesser Valar. Maiar are generally servents to the Valar also.)

    It should be pointed out that all of the Istari (Wizards) are of the Maiar. It should also be noted that Sauron (the Dark Lord) is a Maiar and is a servent of Morgoth (a Valar that is at war with the other Valar). Sauron was originally a servent of the Valar Aman (sp?) until he was corrupted by Morgoth.

    Just to understand this a little better:
    Illuvitar created the entire world and all who dwell upon it. Valar were created first and helped create the world with Illuvitar. Valar, as far as everyone living is concerned, are gods. Maiar are lesser gods therefore. Thus Gandalf is a lesser god. Interesting positions.

    And think about the "Evil-Frodo's" horse...
    Every other ring wraith has a huge, black horse with glowing red eyes... but lil' hobbit-wraith would have a dark, red-eyed... fat pony. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    And all the other ring wraiths would have to slow down a bit so that the little frodo wouldn't be left behind in a chase...

    I suppose evil-Frodo would have been left behind to clean the evil horse stables and hiss a lot... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
